Magdeburg – September 3rd and 4th 2012
We are proud to announce the
Resting State Educational Workshop
taking place right before the 3rd Biennial Resting State Conference – September 5-7 2012.
The
2-day educational workshop, organized together with the ESMRMB –
Lectures on MR Series, will feature the most relevant
subjects of resting state imaging, including physiology, data analysis,
and applications. The target audience, researchers with existing
knowledge on fMRI with interest to broaden and substantiate their
knowledge on resting state fMRI, will get to experience
focus lectures and hands on courses by international experts in the
field. For more
information on the program and speakers, visit
www.restingstate.com. For registration, also visit
http://www.esmrmb.org.
The registration fee for PhD students and physicians in training is
€ 190 for ESMRMB members and € 285 for non-members, which includes
access to the
workshop, a course syllabus, full catering of lunches and coffee
breaks, and a welcome dinner.
Biennial Resting State Conference
Magdeburg – September 5-7 2012.
Right after the educational course, Magdeburg will host the 3rd international resting state conference, welcoming international
experts in this growing field.
The Biennial Resting State Meeting Series was initiated as an expert meeting on all aspects of this fascinating technique
in Magdeburg
in 2008. After the great success of our last biennial meeting in
Milwaukee
in 2010, the 3rd Resting State Conference now returned to the birthplace of this unique conference.
The Resting State Meeting aims at bringing together key researchers working on the physiological background or analysis
of resting state data in a familial and highly interactive setting.
The sessions for both the educational course and the main conference are structured into 3 major themes:
Theme 1 will deal with recent advances and methodological issues in resting state data analysis.
Theme 2 will cover the physiology and physical background of low
frequency fluctuations including electrophysiological correlates, the
impact of physiological noise and insights from pharmacological
challenges.
Theme 3 will focus on applications using resting state fMRI with a specific focus on psychiatric and neurological diseases.
Growing with the field and its diversity, we invite researchers working on all related aspects of this fascinating
phenomenon to share ideas and insights from their disciplines, including clinical applications.
Each
day of the main conference will consist of two morning and two
afternoon sessions where specific emphasis will be put on discussion and
debates
on hot topics and ongoing controversies in the field of resting state.
Additional lunch symposia will be paralleled by poster receptions on the major fields of resting state:
Methods and Acquisition
Data Analysis
Physiology
Animal Imaging
Pharmacology
Multimodal Resting State Studies
Applications in Psychology, Neurology, Psychiatry and Neuroradiology
Similar
to the previous meetings, the scientific program will be extended
towards evening social events providing ample room for intensive
interactions
and communication.
Abstract submission and online registration for the 3rd Biennial Resting State
Meeting opened March 1st and abstract submission will still be possible until April 30th.
Please save the date and make sure to register in time. Abstract submission requires
registration for the conference. Safe on early bird registration fees (until April 30th):
The registration fee of € 395 includes access to the full meeting,
welcome reception and full catering of lunches and coffee breaks for all
three days.
The satellite educational course on September 3rd and 4th will
be restricted to a limited number of attendees so make sure to register in time for both events.
